Chapter 58

"Hehe..." Zhu Houzhao and Li Li exchanged knowing glances before turning to look at Liu Jin. Lu Yu's voice carried a deep, cold tone, exuding an air of immense vicissitudes. ... It was unclear whether Li Dongyang would storm to the kitchen with a knife if he knew what Li Li was thinking. "Very well, Commander Mou. I've seen your strength today; I'll take my time to match it with the Jinyiwei later!" Wang Yue said, seething as he left. Could these people have found the Dharma Master Da Yi to help them search for the World Axis with German SS soldiers—and behind them, foreigners distinct from the Germans? Wu Shuxue suggested they were likely American explorers who entered China from India in the early 1950s. "You won't die, old monkey. You have nine lives; I still need you around for weddings and children," the old monkey chuckled reassuringly. Though his laughter aggravated his pain, it was clear he was forcing himself to stay upright. "Long Qianyu, when I return from the Demon Realm, I might have a way to save you," she sighed. "What are you talking about? Isn't this what I'm supposed to do?" Tao Ran took the keys, helped her up, and opened the door. Li Ruhai found a quiet room and began his first extended cultivation retreat in this world—converting all his internal strength into spiritual energy, attempting to transform his body with it, and opening his acupoints to see if it could restore his golden core. Below the mountain, visibility was limited, and even with the Shadow Army gathering intelligence, they were only human and could make mistakes. In such a dangerous place, no matter how tight the defenses, falling short was inevitable. From the dirt on their clothes, Ye Kui could tell these people had been imprisoned longer and starved more. Yet Ye Kui had no intention of sharing her bread. Qiao Mingjin's hair was long, filling a basin when washed, requiring a deeper one to accommodate it. Bai Lixuan, with his 'distinguished' appearance and exceptional strength, confidently said, "I'm waiting for you." It was as if Penglai naturally exuded such arrogance, though some present, already envious of her, felt she was being overly presumptuous—like she should have shown some decorum instead. "Big sister-in-law, what are you saying? We haven't even started drinking yet, and you're talking nonsense!" The interruption came from Yang Shi, returning from greeting guests. "Please, sir!" A faint fragrance wafted through the air as Lianhua offered a cup of tea, her eyes softening as she looked at Liu Feng. This led everyone to praise Yang Shi's virtuousness, affirming she truly deserved the title of "virtuous wife." At that time, she hadn't eaten for a long while and was grateful to Yun Zhuang, telling her that if she ever needed her help, just to let her know. Once the ice needles pierced the old marquise's body, they would quickly dissolve. With such a figure, coupled with her captivating face, she was sure to enchant countless men in this life, including her own past love from a previous life. Bai Daye casually picked up an 'ID card' and carefully pinned it to his clothes. Professor Chen also distributed several 'ID cards' among them. The ground looked as if it had been twisted and turned, uneven and（spiral）in shape. The man's expression showed no sign of disturbance, as if nothing had happened. Bai Youlan glanced at Gu Xiaoran, who was squatting beside her, and picked up a root from the snow-covered footprint. "Eleventh brother, what are you doing?" The eleventh prince was about to touch her ear when the seventh prince suddenly appeared at the door and scolded him. Xu Jiayin felt guilty for earning such a high salary from Ouyang Huan, thinking she was just running errands for him. Xiang Wei paused, then strode out, with Ouyang Yi calling out, "Hey..." behind him. "Just kidding," Xin Na laughed at Hang Yi's expression, covering her mouth and giggling. Seeing him in a frilly apron, （Kang Fan Ni）found it amusing and burst into laughter, "What are you doing?" she said, reaching for his apron. After arranging the firewood, Shu Lu used the Yin-Yang Art to convert her neutral spiritual energy into fire（fire spiritual energy）, igniting the wood with a wave of her hand. Sitting cross-legged, she threw a corpse into the flames. "Impressive, but how could a demon obtain the Demon Emperor's inheritance? Hand it over now, or face death!" Lie Fenghu threatened. Once unleashed, such a formation master was considered a（top existence）, almost divine. Shu Lu explained their intentions to the waiter, who remained professional, unphased by their plan to sell items before attending the auction. "It's just a child; let her stay here," Su Zhiyi said generously. "Thank you for the hospitality. I'd like to try the lunch you've prepared with care," Wang Haicong said proudly, gesturing to the sumptuous spread. He didn't believe a rogue soul cultivator would come after his mother for no reason; since she rarely left the duke's mansion, the duchess was the prime suspect. Consuming the cultivator's elixir not only prolonged life but also aided in cultivation, allowing one to grasp a hint of the Dao, laying the foundation for advancing to the Dao realm.
